Notes
We're now working towards a stable release, so our focus is turning to some last additions and then mainly bug fixes and reliability. This release includes an improved project search which can now return results in flowcharts and timelines. We've also added the ability to access the list of exported project files so you can do things like iterate project files without needing to manually keep a list of files somewhere else. Note however that this list only represents the state upon export, and it won't change if you alter the files after export - for that you should go back to a separate project file listing other files.
This release also includes some changes and bug fixes, particularly for templates and the Instances Bar. We've also done some work to further optimize updating Text objects, which is one area where WebGPU is known to be slower than WebGL. With the help of browser vendors, we're aiming to close the performance gap. Happy testing!
